Until you have enough money accumulated, sacrifice luxury. Sacrifice TV, time out, and even time with your family and friends.
If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you’ll find an excuse.
Create experiences that leave you in awe, for these will be the highlights of your life.
Entrepreneurship is an addiction to being successful, not a job or career. You have to feed the addiction and recharge from it or you’ll burn out.
The only difference between you today and a year from now are the people you know and what you have learned.
Potential is the one power you always have.
Don’t let anyone steal your milk.
There are guys I’d love to learn from, but they wouldn’t be a good fit for me, so I read their blogs and books.
Steve Jobs is someone I’ve studied inside and out, and I’ve applied so many of his techniques and philosophies to my businesses. It’s a remote mentorship because I’ve never met him.
I get thousands of requests for mentorship, but they don’t offer anything in return, like filing, cleaning my house, or something. All too often, it’s “please mentor me; I need my shot.” But they don’t offer anything in return.
I remember thinking to myself that I missed the fun and excitement after leaving the corporate world to work at home. Seek camaraderie through networking. Schedule time for it; if you don’t, you’ll never make it.
